CAUT ION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator
pedal.
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal with your right foot until the vehi-
cle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly press the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle or switch in the NEU-
TRAL position. Remove the key when the vehicle is not in use.
3. PowerDrive Plus and IQ System vehicles: When the Tow/Run switch is in the RUN position, (with the
Forward/Reverse switch or key switch in any position), the zero speed detect function will prevent the
vehicle from rolling at more than 1 or 3 mph (1.5 or 4.8 km/h) unless the accelerator is pressed. This pre-
vents the possibility of a parked vehicle (with the park brake disengaged) rolling away too fast to be over-
taken on foot. See Zero Speed Detect on page 15.

overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
